If you lived here...

You’ll really appreciate the love and care that’s gone into updating this 2100 square foot home. From the clever layout to the thoughtful décor throughout, it’s clear that every inch has been carefully considered — making it wonderfully easy to settle in and feel at home.

In the reception room, light pours through the bay windows, highlighting the pristine parquet flooring. The tasteful neutral palette allows for effortless personalisation, while period details like the fireplace mantel and ornate coving provide timeless character. You’ll find the same elegant style in the rear study, which also makes an ideal playroom or snug.

To the back, the kitchen-diner is a spectacular feat of architectural flair. The cabinetry is sleek and stylish, while subtly nodding to tradition in keeping with the rest of the home. Between the kitchen and reception, the separate pantry, utility area and ground floor bathroom offer brilliant practicality. Traditional rear doors frame a leafy view out to your mature south-facing garden — a true retreat, whether you’ve got green fingers or simply enjoy the outdoors.

Upstairs on the first floor are four immaculate bedrooms, each beautifully styled with individual charm, along with a luxurious family bathroom. At the top of the house, the loft has been transformed into a serene principal suite, complete with ample storage and a contemporary en-suite.

Outside, you have a fantastic neighbourhood to explore... Head a few minutes on foot towards St Peters-in-the-Forest to enjoy the tranquility of Epping Forest, or head in the other direction towards Hollow Ponds for more sprawling nature and even a boating lake.

Fancy more of an urban buzz? You’re in luck because the nearby Wood Street is having a real moment. Not only does it look great thanks to the good work of local mural studio Wood Street Walls, but several exciting new stores and eateries have popped up amongst the old favourites, like the brilliantly unique Wood Street Indoor Market and local institution garden centre Lancasters. Not sure where to start? Try excellent bar The Wood Street Bear, tasty brunch spot Dudley’s and award-win bakery Chocolatine, but there’s much more.

You’re only seven minutes from Wood Street station, where you can nip to Liverpool Street in 20 minutes on the Weaver Overground, or change one stop down the line at Walthamstow Central and head into the West End on the ultra-efficient Victoria line.
